Social Insecurity
=================

B-side to the "Together All The Way" 12" single, extra track on the
re-engineered "A Weapon Called The Word" LP, a live version also appears
on the "Zeitgeist Out-takes" CD.

A very simple but effective song - throw in a pull-off to Dsus2 (xx0230)
on the last count of each bar on D major. Listen to the song to get the rhythm.

Many people make the mistake of thrashing this song out with a loud, anthemic
quality. Listen to the recording again and remind yourself of the raw, acoustic
sound the track was written for. Sure, play loud, but don't belt this one out
too much.

I don't like the way that he's asking me these questions

I don't think that I could trust you,           with the story of my life

Another communications network brings you to your knees
They're genocidal maniacs, they're doing just what they please
Gotta move these mountains 'cause they're standing in the way

It's never seemed so tragic now as dawn breaks into day
You're staring at a tower block where a green field once lay
All the mighty rivers full of factory decay
Is this just some small price that we have learned to pay for your
